$2.5 million for Kaumātua wellbeing - what should be a priority?

Reporter Whangārei Leader

Hi neighbours - better lives for the Kaumātua [elderly] of Aotearoa is the focus of a $2.5 million wellbeing project.

Two different projects will run with the first hoping to bring generations together, and the second focusing on high health and social needs. These projects will mix physical exercise with Te Reo and the passing down of cultural knowledge.

What do you think should be a priority for Kaumātua? What do you think would be most beneficial for them?
